According to Global Cool, a UK Mag called Nuts has revealed that women place “eco-conscience” as one of the top personality traits to look for when selecting a partner. Really? Are we sure they didn’t just show them photos of Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, and George Clooney while asking, “These guys are all eco-friendly. Are you attracted to them?”

Apparently, a guy who turns down his thermostat raises the heat with the ladies while one that drives, say, an Escalade is delivered scorn. Sorry, Rush. From the article,

“In the survey, â€˜caring for the environmentâ€™ trumped â€˜good sense of humourâ€™ (or â€˜gsohâ€™ as it is frequently flagged up in singlesâ€™ listings), which prompted Guardian columnist Alison Benjamin to devise the ad-friendly acronym â€˜cateâ€™, or â€˜cares about the environmentâ€™. ‘There is something sexy about a man who recycles,’ said Nuts relationship expert Louise Prior, before adding that if a man shows his green side it reveals that he ‘cares about more than just himself and shows he has a sensitive side and thinks about the future’.”

Awww…this is either bullshit or another excellent reason for single, eco-smart gents to move to the UK. Pack those Birkenstocks, grab an eco-friendly tote, and let us know how it goes!
